Oh my, you have no clue what this thread was about, as you didnât read it.
TL/DR zoom out / zoom in the compass
I wonât bother to reply any further.
Goodbye.
I read it, but honestly I canât see a problem with it. The mini-map comes in two sizes. What you seem to want is for it be even bigger so that it covers practically the whole screen to me. Am I wrong? How are you going to see where youâre going apart from navigating by this huge map?
You may see it as a big issue, but this is the only time Iâve seen anyone asking for it to be changed.
I think the OP just wants to be able to see more of the level inside the minimap window, not make the window bigger. I kind of see their point, itâs not that great for navigating with.

Iâm with the OP here. If the minimap remained in size but could also be zoomable - that would be a blast for my game experience as well. Even with the big size, the minimap cannot help me navigating. Please consider this suggestion!

+1 from me. I wish I could cram in more of the minimap into that god-awful circle without needing to enlarge it.
From my privileged min-maxerâs/speed-cr-running perspective, the biggest pita about the current minimap is its inability to detectstragglerâs if left in the smaller size.
And if left in its bigger size, it actually hinders your piloting as the UI eats into what yiu can actually click on.
e.g. if thereâs an enemy standing right where the mutators are, it becomes untargetable

In the mean time you can do what a lot of other veteran pilots and I do - if you continue pressing down on the LMB before opening the actual map, your character can still move/attack.
So, you can steal quick glances at the map while fighting a less dangerous mob to give you an idea as to where to go next, while relying on the minimap for the finer details, if that makes sense.

Hello @sir_spanksalot,
Doing that led me to create this thread, as my opinion about the game design was severely dropping due to its terrible navigation/orientation feature which is the compass.
Realizing the current compass is completely useless, I did exactly what you described above, but it didnât last long because my game immersion and game over all experience were completely wrecked.
I get it mate. But you have to be reasonable here as well. On the grand scheme of things, crate needs to fix/address much more pressing issues than the minimap.
In an ideal world, of course weâd be up in arms with you here, clamouring for a more friendly UI. However, thereâs a very real chance that it wonât happen because crate is a small team.
Itâd be a shame if this design oversight really pushed you away from the awesome game (and community!) which GD has to offer.
So all Iâm trying to do here is to give you the âpoor manâsâ workaround.

True. But then again I, knowing a thing or two about programming, think to myself that reducing the zoom of the minimap cannot take that long to implement.

I am with OP on this. Zoom for radar would be great.
@medea_fleecestealer for moderator you have poor attitude in my opinion. You should be listening to customers and trying to understand them not keyboard fighting them as you are doing with MBEUNE. I have just bough Grimdown and 2 expansions this week and love the game but seeing how you treat customers I have to say I lost good dose of sympathy for the Grimdown cause. Something you may think about.

To be constructive. Wouldnât it be better to say âThanks for suggestion and playing Grim Down. We will pass it to Dev team to considerâ ? There everyone would be happier, even if it will never get done 
Awesome game none the less.

I already made similar topic about this (With images) [Suggestion] More Usefull Minimap / Compass - Simple Fix
This moderator was trying to be negative in my thread too but failed. So bad attitude.
Seeing this makes me happy that im not alone with that matter.
âŚbut again that moderator⌠that kind of behavior makes me sick.

Just to clarifyâŚthe moderators are just player volunteers and are not in any way able to âpass things on to usâ any more than you can by posting your feedback, nor are other players their âcustomersâ.
Hell, Give us a Compass like Skyrim to navigate with, I donât need a minimap⌠I need a marker for current objective⌠I mean, See what I did there.
I read a lot of what was posted here, The idea is that the objects inside the circle; Can be enlarged or rather, Zoomed out from within the minimap circle to allow for a better view. Something the current minimap doesnât allow for.
You can most certainly enlarge the Circle Minimap so you can see it better from a distance,
i.e. playing from a couch or bed.
But that doesnât help navigating the world solely on using just that device, If it wasnât for D-Pad Down while moving every once in a while, Iâd get lost.
Then this brings me away from the Topic at hand to my next issue.
None of the people titled on these forums other than Zantai âAs Far As I Knowâ Is an actual Employee and Designer for the game. I have rarely seen another.
Iâve been around the community for a little while now⌠7 months, or so⌠Been playing since it came out in the silent corner. @powbam @medea_fleecestealer @Ram and @Zantai
Theyâve all been super nice and friendly when I have communicated with them. So @UnStellar You making me sick trying to do that card trick you just attempted four hours ago. @MBEUNE Perhaps you could have explained it in a professionally diverse way to convey exactly what your function would have done⌠Or Even go a step further. Develop a Mod using the tools inside the installation folder and create your exact idea. @Ram did it with Reign of Terror. I believe in you. !!!
Oh⌠Edit. And Bobâs your Uncle. . . . . . Sorry been playing a lot of Dragon Quest XI⌠Seems to be a saying in the series.

Youâre kidding right? Hereâs that âsick behaviorâ you are claiming you experienced, literally the only interaction in that thread that you had with her.
It would be one thing if there was some truth to your claim. But you just got proved a liar. Thatâs a shame because I actually do like your threads suggestion. But donât be a liar on the internet man, we can all see that shit plain as day right there.
They donât need to delete anything you do⌠why would they when they can instead just leave it for all to see the load of BS you are dropping.
Hell, I even went back in this thread and read medeaâs replies - all 4 of them - and I am quite frankly not seeing anything out of the ordinary here except for the fact that she isnât too hot on the idea. Literally âwhateverâ man.

I did mention he was âtryingâ to be negative on my thread but failed, coz i was not taking the bait and refused to âkeyboard fightâ. Look what he did type at this thread. Thatâs clearly bad behavior you try do deny it?
Are You some kind of lawyer? My point is his behavior is bad. If You all think that thats okay to behave like this than im done with that community. Was just trying to make game a bit better.
Can you spell out what is bad about her posts or are we running a moebius strip of logic here?
